Swiss wind music tradition is deeply rooted in schools and local communities, forming a unique educational system and cultural model. Wind music activities start at the elementary school level and are firmly embedded in both school curricula and community life, nurturing a large number of young music enthusiasts. At the same time, wind music system in Switzerland relies heavily on professional development pathways through the study in music school and higher education of music. This dual - track model of community - based education and professional training ensures that Swiss wind music enjoys broad social participation while maintaining a high level of artistic excellence.

This wind festival is planned to alternate between Switzerland and China, aiming to create a platform for cross-cultural exchange and high-level artistic presentation. The festival will also incorporate elements of traditional Swiss and Chinese music, exploring the cross culture possibilities .
